Another withdrawal causes injuries, in this case multiple if we think that Nicholas Krause ended up ten times under the knife.
We are talking about an athlete who has seen little in the World Cup (6 appearances, never in points), also and above all because of the continuous physical problems for a boy who, at 27 years old, decided to announce his farewell to skiing competition.
The American gigantist, however, also protagonist in the speed at the Nor-Am Cup level, where he won six times and conquered the 2019 giant cup, finishing in 2nd place in the general classification of the North American circuit in 2017, he gave up after the '' yet another knee crusader injury suffered last December. Previously, Krause had already been operated on several times to resolve troubles in the hip, again in the knee and also for a serious fracture of the tibia and fibula.
He made his debut in the World Cup in February 2016, in super-g at Hinterstoder, and then played his last race on the most important circuit last October, without finishing the first round of the opening giant in Soelden.
